Silvercrest KH 1168 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

• Never touch the microwave oven door, housing,
ventilation openings, accessories or the dinnerware
directly after the grill, combi or automatic menu
process. The parts will be very hot. Allow them
to cool down before cleaning them.
• Ensure that the plug is at all times easily accessible,
so that it can be quickly removed in the event of
an emergency.
• People fitted with a heart pacemaker should consult
their doctor about the possible risks of using a micro-
wave oven before taking one into use.
• Do not allow the power cable to hang from a table
or work surface. Children could pull on it.
• After they have been warmed up, always open
containers, popcorn-bags etc. with the opening
pointing away from your body. Escaping steam
could lead to scalds.
• Never stand directly against the microwave oven
when opening the door. Escaping steam could
lead to scalds.
• Do not fry in the microwave. Hot oil can damage
parts of the appliance and utensils and even
cause skin burns.
• Always shake-up or stir warmed up baby glasses
or bottles! The contents could have heated up
unevenly and the baby could be burned/scalded
by them. At all events, check their temperature
before feeding them to the baby!
• Do not modify the microwave oven.
• Microwave radiation is dangerous! Maintenan-
ce and repairs requiring the removal of access
covers, which are intended for protection
against contact with microwave radiation, are to
be carried out by trained specialists only.
• Before consumption, check the temperature, so
as to avoid a potentially life-threatening scalding
for babies.
Cooking utensils may become hot from the heat
emitted by the food, so that you may require oven
gloves to touch them. In this case, a check should
also be made to ensure that the cooking utensils
are suitable for use with the microwave oven.
This symbol on your microwave warns you of
the risk of burns.
